Our Final Countdown (part1)

Our Final Countdown (part 1)
14th April 2014

We are in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean having just crossed the Equator, going around Africa somewhere, and the Captain tells us we are in the Doldrums.  Not much breeze and sea very calm.

I thought I would try to post you a few general photographs, of things we have seen on our travels and life on board ship.

At most ports Doreen seems to home in on the local markets which sell unusual fruits , vegetables and fish. The Chrysanthemums which we saw on sale in Hong Kong reminded her of her dad , as he used to grow them for competitions.


Then finally a picture of some china Doreen would like to have bought in South Africa, but alas the shop wasn’t open, so we will have to go back.  Oh well, you can’t win them all.


During our travels we have seen many unusual flowers which Doreen will be researching when she returns home.
